Tulane doesn't have a special teams coach.

That is why we are favored by 3? Maybe if we had a special teams coach, we would be favored by 7.

You don't need a special teams coach when you don't run the swinging gate...uh, wait, we don't have a special teams coach either, do we?

Just wait, the Swinging Gate will pay a benefit some time this year. Mark my words.

If we don't get our fingers jammed in it first.

It worked for Jimmy Chitwood at Hickory High. Oh wait, wrong sport.

Art Briles is 4-0 and he runs the swinging gate.

When we're 4-0 I'll be ok with us spending a little practice time on special teams gimmicks. Until then, let's line up in a legal formation and kick.

Briles also ran the swinging gate when they went 6-6 last year. Bennett ran it when we went 0-12, and also 5-6. Whether we do the swinging gate or not has no bearing on our record or anybody else's. Many coaches run the swinging gate, I don't understand why people freak out so much about Bennett running it. We have many more important things to worry about with this team.

Just out of sheer curiosity since I don't know the answer, do any big-name programs use swinging gate?

Yes, I have seen at least one BCS program run the swinging gate on TV, but I can't remember who it was now. :lol:

Wish I could do better than that, but I have seen it, because it made me think of Bennett when I saw it. (Dang...I was waiting for somebody to ask that question)

Just a stab in the dark, but I seem to recall that BC uses it. But I may be projecting that.
